[Elecraft] K2 Internal Speaker Dead

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Before concluding that the headphone jack is at fault, check the wiring to
the external speaker jack and the plug at the end of the wire.  If the
conductors are reversed at one of these points, the audio is shorted to
ground.

The other thing you can do is put the plug into the RF Board connector and
check for continuity between control board P3 pins 7, 8 and 10 through the
headphone jack and on to the external speaker jack and the speaker.  The
ohmmeter will show you where the discontinuity is occurring.

The headphone jack problem is rare - only a few occurrances have been
reported on the reflector in the over 5 years that I have been
participating, so put it down low on the list of possible 'things that could
be wrong' until proven otherwise.

73,
